In my country at least Amazon delivery drivers are the only reliable and trustworthy ones, they call when they can't get in the building, they never pretend to deliver something, they never pretend you were not in they deliver fast and reliably, you can get it delivered to lots of stores if you know you wont be in and Amazon customer service actually sorts it out and dispatches replacements fast in the rare cases it does go wrong or and its next day.
Any other delivery service just causes way more stress.
Feel like this article is downplaying which was the real reason because it's definitely only one of the three things listed and we can rule out ethics if you happily used it for decades you didn't suddenly start caring about that out of nowhere.
- jasoncartwright 2y agoSame here in London. I've ordered items from Amazon even if they are more expensive there, because I know it'll be delivered. Random storefronts relying on Royal Mail or who knows what delivery service just can't compete and waste my time.
- physicsguy 2y agoThis one depends a ton on where you live though. I'm in the Midlands and we have parcels go missing and ending up at neighbours houses down the road probably 30% of the time. Royal Mail and Evri are bizarrely the most consistent. Our house is not difficult to find. I found when we lived in a flat it was a total write off, things never went in the right place.
- m463 2y agofedex (home delivery) is the worst. Ordered some shelves and found them dropped in front of the bushes of the neighbors. It's hard to tell who's responsible though, it's like shell corporations all the way down. I remember talking to one delivery driver and even though the van said their name, they were a private contractor and the van wasn't owned by the company.
